XoX
It's a very cold and windy night. 3 figures were standing alongside with each other.
"Please bear in mind that this mission means business." Persona said. "All you need to do is to get the forbidden scroll inside a vault in that yacht over there. Any wrong mistakes can lead your death and the school at stake. So I'm expecting you to do this successfully."
"No problem! Ne, Natsume-kun?!" Mary Grace A.K.A Ishtenshi said.
"Tch" was all Natsume could answer. He's clearly not in the mood since he couldn't apologize to Mikan. He could still picture the face he saw when she left. He's angry with himself cuz he's the reason for it.
"Enough with this chitchat. Go!" Persona commanded.
Ishtenshi and the black cat are on the roll. Nothing could ever stop them. Ishtenshi or angel of death's power is nature manipulation. But the thing is, with the use of her alice, she could absorb all of her enemy's power. And worst, their alice. Just one touch with her Vines of life then you can say Bye-bye to your life.
Guards are everywhere but that didn't stop them from getting nearer in their goal. Both of them stopped when they found themselves in front of a huge oak door. Natsume was about to open it when Mary Grace stopped his hand.
"Wait. There must be a trap." She said
Then she knelt down, touched the ground and closed her eyes. She opened it slowly and said to Natsume "There are 2 guards near the door. I could take them down with the use of wood element." She looked at the door and examined it carefully. "There are 4 others inside. Take them as fast as you can."
"At the count of three." Natsume said "One, two three!"
Mary grace touched the door and hands made of oak formed. It quickly smashed the two guards near it. On the other side, As soon as Natsume opened the door, he quickly went inside and swiftly killed all the guards with the use of his fire. "That was quick" he said
The two of them walked towards the vault when
"Stupid Guards."
There stood a red-haired guy with green seductive eyes. "Yoh!"
"Who is he referring to?" Natsume said. "Never mind, I'm going to end your life anyway." Then Natsume stances forward, about to attack him when Mary Grace said in disbelief "What are you doing here?!!"
Gin smiled at her and teasingly said "Boyfriend?" as he eyed Natsume from head to toe.
"What if he is?!" Mary Grace snapped at him.
"You found someone else while I'm away? That was fast."
"What are you talking about?! You've been away for two years! You left me behind without saying anything. I even looked for you in France, America, Everywhere!!" Mary Grace furiously answered.
"I'm sorry! I promise to make it up to you." Gin pleaded.
"How?! You left me! That's it. It may sound lowly or something but when you left, I could feel my heart breaking, my world shattering into pieces. It's like everyday, the pain gets worse. A year after that, I couldn't feel anything. No pain. No agony. Nothing. Its like there's a hole in my life that's eating me alive, little by little." She sounded hurt. Afflicted, trying hard to stop her tears from falling.
While the two of them argue, Natsume crept silently towards the vault. After obtaining the scroll, he quickly called Mary Grace signaling that it's time to go.
Mary Grace shot a painful glance to Gin before escaping together with Natsume.
-Outside the yacht-
The two of them left the yacht as fast as they could. The alarm went on and everything went insane. Exhausted, both of them walked to where Persona is waiting.
"Persona was standing on a branch when they saw him. Looking all emotionless as ever, he looked at Natsume with the scroll. He sprung down from the tree and landed softly on the grass. He snatched the scroll away and left them.
"What?! No 'Good Job!' or whatever?!" Mary Grace exclaimed.
Persona turned around and said "Why would I? You did the job wrong. The two of you set the alarms on and you barely made it out. Do you still think you deserved to be praised?"
Mary Grace looked down and silently said "No"
"Good." Persona then suddenly disappeared.
-Gakuen Alice-
Both Mary Grace and Natsume walked silently back to their dorm.
"Ey baka" Natsume said
Mary Grace looked up and said nothing. "I'm expecting some yelling and stuff, you know" Natsume said, trying to ease up the aura surrounding her.
Mary Grace started laughing. "Yeah, I'm quite surprise myself."
"Natsume, please don't tell anyone what just happened?" Mary Grace pleaded.
"Hn."
"Thanks." Then Mary Grace smiled weakly.
"You should really say sorry to her now cuz we'll never know what I'll do tomorrow." She said as she smiles evilly.
And with that, both of them parted their ways.
-Mikan's Room-
"Natsume no Baka!!" Mikan shouted as she buried her face on her pillow. "You lying insolent fool!"
Mikan sat up and fixed herself. Her eyes are red and puffy but still she couldn't bring herself to stop crying. "Why would I care?! Its not like he really loves me right?! I mean, were just together because of the bet." She said to herself, hoping that it will make her feel better but instead it made it worse. "Of course he's not with me cuz he loves me, baka!! Matter of fact, I should be rejoicing. Damn. This is harder than I expected. Do I really-"
"You sure are dense, polka"
Upon hearing his voice, Mikan quickly turned her head to look at Natsume. "Wha-t?"
Natsume jumped from the tree branch to Mikan window. He then walked towards Mikan and hugged her. "Of course you love me."
"Y-yeah…I guess." Mikan could feel her heart thumping loud and her temperature rising. This is too much for her to handle. For 3 years since they known each other, how could she not realize that the feelings she felt for Natsume is actually what you call love?! No wonder it's so foreign for her.
"Natsume, wanna sleep here tonight?"
"You wanna sleep with me?" He answered teasingly.
"Yeah." Mikan slips through Natsume's arms and lay down the bed. She slowly closed her eyes and whispered "Daisuke desu, Natsume-kun."
Natsume looked at Mikan, sleeping peacefully. He lifted his hands and caressed the sleeping brunette gently. "I love you too my angel." Then he lay down beside her.
The next day, both Mikan and Natsume went inside the classroom hand-in-hand. Hotaru looked at them and let her eyes gazed down to their hands then to Natsume, giving him a I'm-going-to-kill-you-if-you'll-hurt-her kid of look. Natsume just smiled at her then led the way to their sit.
-Cafeteria-
There are screams, "Kyyaa~!" and giggles everywhere. Mikan looked at Natsume again just to make sure he IS with her. She was about to ask Hotaru when she noticed that she's already in the crowd, selling something that looks like a picture.
"Hotaru sure is fast when it involves money." Koko said
"Yeah.." Ruka answered as he looked at Hotaru intently.
"Ruka-pyon, ganbatte!" Nonoko said.
"Good luck buddy/"Natsume said as she placed her arm around Mikan.
"Ohoho, Ruka-pyon! Wait what are we talking about again?" Mikan confusingly said.
All of them looked at Mikan for a second and continued teasing Ruka.
"Nanda-yo?! (what do you want?)" they heard Mary Grace shouted as she rushed to the door.
"Wait. Mary, please listen to what I got to say." Gin said as he followed her. He turned to his crowd of fan girls and threatened them. "Follow us and you'll surely regret that you lived."
His aura is dark and strong which made them back off.
-Outside the building-
"Leave me alone will ya?!" Mary Grace snapped.
Gin looked dejected but didn't move away. "Please just listen. After this, you may do what ever you want to me."
Silence.
Mary Grace looked at him with her right eyebrow raised. "What?"
"The Alice Academy Paris branch got me into mission that deals with some big time mob." He started
"what does it have to do with it?" Mary Grace inserted.
"Let me finish. I didn't want you get involved so I ran away."
"And you call yourself a man? Do you see me as a weak person that cant fight for myself? I would rather face death everyday than not to be with you…" She said. "But, its too late right? Leaving me behind like that!"
"Wait. What did you say?" Gin said, confused.
"I said you left me without saying anything!!" she irritatingly answered.
"Didn't you receive the ipod?" he asked. "Never mind, here." Gin went nearer to Mary Grace and positioned a headset to her ears.
"Wh-what are you doing?!" she snapped
"Just listen.."
if I
could I would do all of this again
Travel back in time with you to
where this all began
We could hide inside ourselves and leave the
world behind
And make believe there's something left to
find
We'll be miles apart
I'll keep you deep inside
You're
always in my heart
A new life to start
I may be leaving but
you're always in my heart
Now we've all grown up, gone on and
moved away
Nothing I can do about it, nothing I can say
To
bring us back to where we were when life was not this hard (life was
not this hard)
Looking back it all just seems so far, so far
away
We'll be miles apart
I'll keep you deep inside
You're
always in my heart
A new life to start
I may be leaving but
you're always in my heart
I'd give it up for just one more day
with you
Give it up for just one more day
I'd give it up for
just one more day with you
I'd give it up for just one more
day with you
Give it up for just one more day
I'd give it up
for just one more day with you
I'd give it up for just one
more day with you
Give it up, give it all away
I'd give it up
for just one more day with you
We'll be miles apart
I'll
keep you deep inside
You're always in my heart
A new life to
start
I may be leaving but you're always in my heart
I need
you now, we're miles apart
I'll keep you deep inside
You're
always in my heart
I need you now, we're miles apart
I may be
leaving but you're always in my heart.
Mary Grace broke down with tears. "I-I don't know what to s-say, I haven't received it. Who did you ask to give it to me?"
"I told…. Sara." Gin said, finally realizing what he did.
"Are you stupid?! Sara likes you!! No wonder why she didn't give it to me." Mary Grace as she started to stop crying.
Gin smiled, "Sorry. Now that were done, lets go back home shall we?"
"Yeah. But you get to be me servant!" She said as she stuck her tongue out and laughed evilly.
Gin looked surprised but shifted to his "annoyed" face. "Whatever."
Two days later…
"Sayonara minna-san!!" Mary Grace bids to her new found friends.
"Sayonara Mary Grace-chan, Gin-kun! Have a safe trip." They said sadly.
"Gin, hurry up and get my bag! Sheesh you're so slow!" Mary Grace said to Gin.
The latter just rolled his eyes and bid to everyone farewell too.
So the two of them rode in the bus, hoping to find a better future for the two of them to live.
Meanwhile,
The group left one by one until Natsume and Mikan are the only ones left behind.
"So Natsume, if our deal is off what will happen to…us?" Mikan asked the raven haired guy.
Natsume looked at the brunette with humor in his eyes. "Are you worried that 'this' will be over?" he teased Mikan.
Mikan fidgeted. "O-of course n-not! Wh-what are you talking about? I mean, I'm not worried at all, in fact I'm pretty relieved."
Natsume eyebrows furrowed. "You're cruel polka." Natsume leaned over to Mikan and kissed her, he then left leaving the stunned brunette behind.
Mikan snapped out of it in a second and yelled to Natsume as she ran towards him. "Matte kudasai Natsume-kun!"
Natsume smiled to himself as he walked away for he finally kissed the girl he love after years of waiting. He then turned around to wait for Mikan.
